Chapter 198 Unexpected Disaster
Wangyue City, west of the city.
Lin Shan in the secret room broke through to the late stage of foundation building five years ago. The Purple Heart Pill strengthened by the Purple Heart Pill is indeed a top-notch treasure pill, and the enhanced panel must be a high-quality product, allowing him to break through the bottleneck smoothly once again.
Even the top alchemy masters in the world of cultivation would not dare to imagine this kind of heaven-defying elixir that increases the probability of breaking through the bottleneck of the foundation stage to 90%. Only unreasonable things like strengthening panels can be produced.
It can be said that it is the only one in the world!
After this breakthrough, the cultivation level has not improved as much as the last time. Last time, it rushed directly to one-third of the progress of the middle stage of foundation building. This time after compression and condensation, it has only been pushed to about one-fifth of the late stage of foundation building.
After five years of crazy "drug-taking" practice, he has advanced to two-fifths of the way, and this is after his spiritual root qualification has reached "second level".
The three-pronged method of elixirs, qualifications, and spiritual treasures provides full support, and his cultivation speed is much faster than others.
"With a sufficient supply of foundation-building elixirs, and the auxiliary cultivation of the innate spiritual treasure virtual astrolabe, we can reach the perfection of the foundation-building stage in less than twenty years."
Lin Shan counted on his fingers and realized that now that he was 50 years old, he seemed a little behind the opportunity to rejuvenate at the age of 64.
"What a pity."
If you can cultivate to the stage of foundation building before the age of 64, and then break through the golden elixir stage in a short period of time, then theoretically it is equivalent to changing from a youth back to a teenager.
You must know that he had seen so many demonic and righteous golden elixir-level real people in the Song Dynasty and the East China Sea, and none of them looked like teenagers! Even Lei Yuzi of Zixiao Sect, known as the "Nascent Soul Seed", was only a young female cultivator who could break through the golden elixir.
It can be seen that the gold content of the "young man" golden elixir, even if it can only stay for a short period of one or two years, is still an incredible achievement.
Because every monk will face the "three paths" bottleneck between the foundation building stage and the golden elixir stage. As long as a breakthrough fails, it will take a long time to start again. No matter how high your qualifications are, who can say luck accurately?
Therefore, when most of the sect's geniuses face bottlenecks, the elders in the sect will tell them to go down the mountain to practice first. Don't be in a hurry to break through. Go outside and walk around for ten or eight years to broaden their horizons and adjust. With your own mentality, you can find the opportunity for breakthrough in the "somewhere".
This is what is called "the time has come."
Only then will he start to return to the sect and try to break through. Not to mention that the success rate of these methods is very high, but it is also an experience that has been spread in the world of cultivation since ancient times.
But Lin Shan is different. He just hangs on the wall, and there is no need to talk about "refining the heart in the world of mortals" or "looking for opportunities". He has the strengthening panel to check every step, and directly strengthens the best "precious pill" to help him break through the realm. Others It is impossible to learn at all.
But even so, he still can't become a young golden elixir. I really don't know how those legendary geniuses who rose like rockets cultivated.
But right now, it is only a matter of time for him to reach the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Period.
When the cultivation level reaches its maximum, and various auxiliary spiritual objects and elixirs that break through the golden elixir stage, you need to start preparing for a rainy day in advance.
The breakthrough in the golden elixir stage is different from the foundation building stage. During the intervening period, it requires the blending of spirit and energy, the refining of the shape with jade liquid, the hammering of a dirt-free body, and the condensation of the leak-free golden elixir.
These are the four steps that have been simplified by the cultivation world for countless years.
The first step of the blending of spirit and energy is easy to say, and the foundation-building stage of Dzogchen has basically been achieved;
The third step is to temper the impure body. Even if there is no special method to strengthen the body, the effect of tempering the body with the star power of the Lingbao Void Star Plate will be better. This step is not difficult for him.
One and three are solved, but two and four need other spiritual creatures to assist.
Jade liquid refining the body means that the mouth produces fluid, which penetrates the meridians and reaches all the orifices.
The golden elixir without leakage is the inner elixir avenue of the three flowers condensed in the entrance. It is strong and indestructible, perfect, bright and pure.
If there are no corresponding elixirs and spiritual objects to assist, if the jade liquid generated is not enough to penetrate the hundreds of meridians, or if the subsequent condensed golden elixir is wrong, it will cause great damage to the cultivation level, or even go crazy.
Not to mention the "dao marks" that failed to break through will make the next time even more difficult!
Lin Shan calculated the 74 points of Ancient Rhythm he had and didn't know if it would be enough to strengthen the auxiliary upgrade. It would be safer to save it first. As long as he can enter the golden elixir stage and become a high-level monk in the world of cultivation, it will be easier to obtain the ancient charm.
By then, with the strength of the Golden Core stage, he will have the qualifications to establish a sect. He dare not spread the incense of faith everywhere, otherwise he may be caught by the patrolling envoys of the upper world, but he can ask his subordinates to search for him in the mortal world. !
All kinds of small objects in the world, humanities, incense, and faith. Although the number is small, they are all tiny, but they gather together into towers and rivers. This is also a channel. The key is that you don’t need to do it yourself!
With the golden elixir period of four hundred years of longevity, wouldn't it be nice to cultivate waves of disciples for him to secretly plunder, and then act as a shady mastermind behind the scenes?
Of course, you can also travel far and wide to find and harvest various cults. I can only say that there are many choices.
The premise is that he can successfully break through the Golden Core Stage. Otherwise, with his current strength in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he will send people to search everywhere. One county or two counties may have a small target. If he acts on a large scale, it is very likely to attract the attention of the cultivation families in various counties. Maybe you might follow the clues and come to him to find out what's going on, and then you'll be in trouble.
If I were a real person at the Golden Core Stage, those cultivation families would most likely turn a blind eye.
In the world of cultivation, strength is respected, and only those with strong fists can do whatever they want.
At present, I am only in the foundation building stage, so I don’t want to be too showy.
……
Opening the door to the secret room, there was already a thick layer of fallen leaves in the yard.
He had no intention of going out to explore, but he just wanted to ask the Black Skeleton Demon Lord to help him pay attention in advance to the various heavenly materials and earthly treasures needed to break through the golden elixir stage, and then he would return to the secret room to continue practicing.
He hasn't been in seclusion all these years. He summons a mermaid girl every other month and asks her to deliver all kinds of seafood to the spiritual beings. Although he didn't know much about various things in the outside world, it probably had nothing to do with him for the time being.
After a while, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord came back in a hurry.
However, unlike in the past, which brought tens of thousands of spirit stones in dividends every year, this time the Black Skeleton Demon Lord came up empty-handed.
"What? Was there some natural or man-made disaster this year? Is the seafood not selling well?"
Lin Shan sipped the spiritual tea leisurely. When he was in a good mood, he didn't care much about the money. He just wanted to understand the outside world as usual and see if the Black Skull Demon Lord was lazy at work.
Unexpectedly, the other party nodded solemnly.
"Yes, there are both natural and man-made disasters. I think we can continue running."
"Poof!!!."
Lin Shan squirted out a mouthful of tea and almost choked on the surging spiritual energy.
I just got out of quarantine and I'm running away again?
I can finally take a break and practice peacefully for a few years. I stay at the gate of the cave and never go out. I don't provoke anyone, so why should I run away?
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord said that he didn't know either. He always felt that it was too unlucky to follow Lin Shan. He was always on tenterhooks and every place he went was unexpectedly unlucky.
"This year, the monster beasts rioted in the Swallowing Star Mountains around the State of Lu, resulting in a sharp drop in the import of seafood and spirits. This is considered a natural disaster."
Lin Shan frowned after hearing this: "The import of seafood from Lu has dropped sharply, wouldn't that be beneficial to our chamber of commerce?"
The Black Skull Demon Lord nodded: "It is precisely because the market share is too large that our Chamber of Commerce has become fat in one breath, so we are being targeted. This is a man-made disaster."
Lin Shan choked again, then smiled coldly and arrogantly: "Oh? Who is targeting us, and they want us to run away?"
The Black Skull Demon Lord answered seriously: "The Dai family, a Cultivation family, is a mining giant in the Lu State. It is said that 80% of the low-level spiritual materials such as refined iron, refined copper, cloud copper and so on that circulate in the Cultivation world every year are mined by their family. There are five Jindan monks, and there is a real Jindan resident in Wangyue City. We were targeted by him, so..."
Lin Shan: "When will you run away?"
...The Black Skull Demon Lord was interrupted by him, paused, and spoke again: "Don't you want to hear how people have taken a fancy to our Chamber of Commerce? What are the causes and consequences? How do you plan to deal with us?"
Lin Shan: "I'm not interested. I just want to change places to continue practicing in seclusion."
The Black Skull Demon Lord shook his head: "Having been targeted by the real Jindan of the Dai family, it is obviously impossible to practice in seclusion and peace of mind."
Lin Shan looked indifferent: "Then just sell the Lin Chamber of Commerce to him and let's not cause any complications for the time being."
Now that Wangyue Ling has been obtained, he has also participated in high-end trade fairs to prove his worth, and two consecutive transactions have been registered there. I think the Lin Chamber of Commerce here has completed its original mission.
It's good to have this money tree all the time, but if it brings unnecessary trouble to yourself, then just cut it off and give it up when it's time to give it up. Lin Shan has nothing to worry about.
The Black Skull Demon Lord spoke very solemnly at this time, telling him that it was too late, because natural disasters have continued in the Lu Kingdom in the past few years, and the import of seafood spirits has been almost blocked. Now the "Lin Chamber of Commerce" is the only one in the entire Wangyue City. He made a lot of money and made everyone jealous.
Generally speaking, this kind of newly rising star chamber of commerce is easily targeted by the big capital in the world of cultivation, and their approach is usually to forcefully acquire and acquire them.
There are many forces eyeing the Lin Chamber of Commerce, and Jin Dan of the Dai family probably paid a high price before reaching an agreement with other forces to give the Dai family the opportunity to annex the Lin Chamber of Commerce.
So now it's not a question of whether they can sell it, but whether they can survive.
"Is it that serious?" Lin Shan was really unbelievable.
Can’t I sell it?
How much hatred can there be, rising to the point of worrying about one's life?
The Black Skull Demon Lord pointed out the key: "The Lin Chamber of Commerce is not the focus. What the Dai Family Jindan Master wants is our channel to purchase goods from the East China Sea!"
"Channel?"
Lin Shan was stunned. How could he have any formal channels? It's just relying on the summoning technique to ask the Sharman girl to help capture the seafood spirits and transport them for sale on a consignment basis. How can we provide such a channel?
Could it be that the summoning technique is given to others, the summoning flag is also given away, and the Mermaid Girl is released from the contract at the same time, so that the contract can be planted by others?
This is too bullying of an honest person!
"Impossible. Although the Summoning Flag is only a high-level magic weapon, there is a treasure like a teleportation stone inside. There is no way I can hand it over."
Lin Shan refused decisively and refused to agree to anything.
Moreover, he has a summoning contract with a Nascent Soul master like "Huang Xianshi". If he really encounters an unavoidable crisis in the future, he might have to strengthen the summoning flag before the battle and pull Huang Xianshi to come to the rescue.
Do you think you can give this kind of thing away?
The Black Skull Demon Lord seemed to have expected it. After killing Princess Guo in the Song Dynasty, the Maiden Sect Saint took away Lin Shan's trophy "talisman and jade pendant". At that time, he told him that he could remove the summoning flag and let He arranged a teleportation array to chase after him, but Lin Shan refused to do so.
Now it is reasonable to have this kind of reaction.
"Then there is no other way. You also know that the Lin Chamber of Commerce is just a shell. The real treasures are the import channels for a large number of seafood spirits. This is the foundation of our chamber of commerce, and no outsider knows about it.
And this channel is the chicken that can really lay eggs. If the Dai family Jindan master can't get this channel, just acquiring a Lin Chamber of Commerce will be of no use to him. ”
"Then what is he going to do?"
Lin Shan frowned, feeling that the situation seemed serious. He didn't expect that he would be involved in such a big event without leaving home. It was really unpredictable.
When they founded the Chamber of Commerce, they just wanted to get the qualifications to enter high-end trade fairs, but they didn't expect that they would cause such trouble even if they wanted to make a profit.
"The Dai family's golden elixir master has asked someone to send a message. Within a few months, the Lin Chamber of Commerce and the seafood channel will be sold to him. He is willing to pay 150,000 spiritual stones."
"Haha~"
Lin Shan sneered. When he first founded the Lin Chamber of Commerce, he invested no less than 150,000 spirit stones. Now the scale is getting bigger and bigger, at least quadrupling. He wants to acquire it with just that little money? Why didn't he grab it?
What's more, he has no intention of selling the so-called "channel"!
"What if I don't sell?"
"If you don't sell it."
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord paused and spoke the words of his opponent unchanged.
"You may have heard that it is difficult for an earthworm to shake a big tree, and how can a mantis' arm be used as a chariot."
"One line of work can tarnish a lifetime; one mistake can lead to eternal hatred!"
“Don’t say you didn’t predict what you said~”
……
"I'm going to ride the horse!"
Lin Shan stood up angrily and kicked over the stone table in the yard. The other party was simply bullying him too much. He just dragged him away and threatened him openly and secretly. Do you really think he was scared since he was a child?
"If you really push me into a dead end, the worst possible outcome will be death!"
At this time, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord was still shaking his head and reciting the other party's message: "As the saying goes, the fish must die, but the net may not be broken."
"."
Lin Shan couldn't help but choked. He didn't expect that the other party had predicted it in advance, so he had to change his mind immediately.
"I, Mr. Lin, am not a fool, and we will both be destroyed by that time!"
The Black Skull Demon Lord was still delivering the other party's message faithfully, reading incessantly: "A stone from another mountain can be used to attack jade, but if jade cannot be cut, it will be difficult to turn it into a weapon"
"."
Lin Shan's tone was stagnant again. He didn't expect this to be predicted, and he felt very angry.
"Okay! Your Dai family is a mining giant in the world of cultivation. I can't afford to offend you and you can afford to hide. Don't let me escape. I'll look good on you in the future!"
The Black Skull Demon Lord was still detailing his oral message, as if he didn't want to miss a single word: "You need to know that the sky is vast, and there are no omissions. The way of heaven is clear, and the law cannot escape."
"???"
Lin Shan stood there blankly. He didn't expect that the other party had predicted all his reactions. Is this Dai family's golden elixir master so evil?
I just stayed at home and shut myself up, never leaving the door or taking a step forward. How could I provoke such a powerful enemy out of thin air?
This is truly a disaster!
